43. Digital Media: A New Way Of Interacting Between Composers, Performers And Consum Identifying the consumers that will be interested in a specific type of music, New music, music of lesser known composers, music by women and minorities http://www.classicalmusicnow.com/dm.htm

Digital Media: A new way of interacting with composers, performers and consumers Visit our catalogue of Digital Media or Search Products The main problem in producing and promoting music outside of the Major labels has always been distribution. Identifying the consumers that will be interested in a specific type of music, producing content which caters to those specific needs and then getting the content to those markets was and in many respects still remains a complex question which has many logistical problems and technical pitfalls. Essentially, the complexity of distributing the product as well as the initial investment lead to the situation in which recordings which were not expected to sell thousands of units were considered to be "bad investments", which blocked many types of music from ever being released on commercial recordings. New Music, music of lesser known composers, music by women and minorities, music by nonstandard instruments, music from cultures outside of North America and Europe.....All of these kinds of recordings and many others were considered to be unprofitable and not worth releasing. The fact is that people DO make these types of recordings and other people DO want to hear them. While these markets are smaller than the market for more popular forms of musical expression, there are significant numbers of people who are interested in hearing this music and purchasing this music. However, the expense that artists and composers have had to outlay in order to produce the CD object in order to deliver the music and then to identify and inform the specific consumers of this product has (most of the time) been a hindrance to making these sorts of projects viable both financially and practically.

50. Should We Not Listen To Jewish Composers' Music? [Archive] - Stormfront White Na If the Jewish composer s music is based off of the musical structure and theoryof the and the best ones are at musicspecific schools like LaGuardia, http://www.stormfront.org/archive/t-44626.html

Stormfront White Nationalist Community General Culture and Customs PDA View Full Version : Should we not listen to Jewish composers' music? 11-21-2002, 08:18 PM And if the performer of a German or Italian opera is Jewish, ought we listen to him? I find that the question of Jewishness and music is interesting, especially when one considers its history in the Reich. (I refer only to orchestral/chamber/operatic music of the classical type, not folk-type music that incorporates obvious Jewish themes.) Some information for the curious: Mendelssohn ('Midsummer Night's Dream,' 'Fingal's Cave,' 'Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage') was born to two Jewish parents, but he was raised Lutheran. His music, however, was consistently damned by Wagner as evidence of the Jew's lack of artistic talent. Wagner being of such importance to the Fuehrer, Mendelssohn's work was rigorously banned in Germany. A Romanian tenor, Joseph Schmidt, who was of Jewish parents, performed German and Italian opera roles many times in Berlin until 1937, when he left of his own volition. Of course, the Reichsminister Goebbels was aware of Schmidt's heritage, but he was allowed to stay. Why? I believe that it was because to consistently defame the work of Jews so publicly would have hampered the Reich's appeal as a cultured nation. post facto: There was a hidden question in this thread.

SEARCH STORIES: Navigation September 20, 2005 Composing the Heartland The Osgood File (CBS Radio Network): 7/29/03 The Osgood File (CBS Radio Network): 2/18/03 Printer-friendly version E-mail this story to a friend A rural Kansas community inspires a composer to top 'Home on the Range.' The first time Greg Sanders drove through Kansas on a college road trip, he never left the highway. Now, the acclaimed composer is paying a lot of attention to 22 small Kansas towns strung like beads, threaded by the Solomon River and by Highway 24, a path first trodden by settlers in the late 1800s. The landscape, bathed in constantly shifting light, is marked by rolling hills, bluffs and wheat fields, and punctuated by towns as small as 40 people, with churches "in the middle of nowhere". The area inspired the song "Home on the Range" in 1873. Now its history, people and current way of life will be featured in the music composed by Sanders. He is creating a 20-minute piece of music, called "Dreams and Faith: The Solomon Valley Anthology," for the area's eight high school bands based on the stories and lives of Solomon Valley residents, including local teachers, historians, farmers. During his three trips to Kansas, he is gathering images and information that will be reflected in his composition to be played in 2003. Sanders met with over 50 local residents during his first trip to hear their stories. The final piece will have four movements that draw on the area's history, agricultural identity and landscape, such as one movement, "Plows on the Prairie," which will have big, open sounds to depict man's battle with nature and the celebration of the harvest, he says.

THE ECONOMIC DISEMPOWERMENT OF AUSTRALIAN COMPOSERS by Derek Strahan The basis of this article was written in 1977 and published in the Journal of the Fellowship of Australia Composers. I have updated, expanded and clarified it for posting on this website. The following comments apply to the area of the performing arts, excluding film, since film is funded under an entirely different system. The term writer is currently used to refer to composers, but this does not entitle composers to have their work funded by direct grant from film funding bodies, as the work of scriptwriters is under the script development category. In film, the work of a composer is generally last call on the budget after the film has been completed. So the following comments do not apply to so-called screen composers. However, they do apply to all other individual creative artists who must apply for “development” funding from federal and state arts bodies. At present Australian composers are denied equality of access to the tax-deductible arts dollar. Private sector support of music is alive and well, but only if the donor is offered a Tax benefit The following kinds of art workers in music-related projects are presently able to benefit directly from private donations to the arts: performers such as musicians (instrumentalists), conductors, dancers, singers – in fact every category of art worker who is employed by a performance organisation; also arts administrators, arts PR persons - in fact everyone except composers.

Sir Malcolm Henry Arnold (b. 1921) b. Northampton (England); 21 October 1921 Normal societies lock away their troublemakers, but the British have this peculiar habit of knighting theirs... and so, in 1993, a trumpeter, composer, conductor and firebrand called Malcolm Arnold woke up with the label "Sir" before his name (it's not known at this time whether he had to kneel before his Queen to collect the "gong"). It would appear, however, that Sir Malcolm has not permitted his belated respectability to tarnish a reputation for genial irrascability (from the interview appended to the National SO of Ireland/Andrew Penny recording of his Ninth Symphony: "There's life in the old dog yet").... An impertinent beginning; but in many ways, Malcolm Arnold is an impertinent composer. To this day, the British musical establishment has struggled to get a handle on him... despite a flood of concerts in Britain celebrating Arnold's 75th year, the current (1996) London Proms program features one short work only ( The Sound Barrier rhapsody as part of its "Last Night" carnival). Admittedly, even Arnold's admirers admit that sometimes he could be his own worst enemy... from the unexpected intrusion of the piccolos which shatter the dignity of his First Symphony through the persistently off-key foghorn of the

Music College of Creative Arts Undergraduate Programs Why Study Music? Music touches the lives of every citizen of the world. To study music is to study creative expression through your personal voice: performing and composing, or through investigating expression made by others: music history, ethnomusicology, and music education. Studying music is studying your own culture and other cultures throughout the world. It is studying history, learning about other forms of expression, and beginning a lifelong involvement in the arts. Most of all, studying music is discovering your own creative mind. Students who have both a strong interest and a good background in music are encouraged to audition to be music majors. The music industry offers many career opportunities to graduates who can compete effectively in this challenging field. Music study also has been proven to be a strong foundation for other professional endeavors. Outstanding graduates in music are sought after for their ability to concentrate, to organize, to analyze problems, to set and achieve goals, to collaborate with others, to follow directions, and to perform publicly. All of these skills transfer from the musical arena to other areas of study. The self-discipline and motivation that characterize successful musicians are highly prized qualities in industry and the professions as well. Why Study Music at SFSU?

59. Music Approved Of By The Third Reich Suppression of specific artists and their works was common, Most musiciansand composers who lived during the Third Reich were less fortunate in their http://fcit.coedu.usf.edu/holocaust/arts/musReich.htm

Under the Nazi regime, all music produced had to fit within certain standards defined as "good" German music. Suppression of specific artists and their works was common, yet musicians were permitted limited artistic freedom. The Nazis attempted to create a balance between censorship and creativity in music to appease the German people. This blend of art and politics led to a three-prong policy regarding musicians and artists: Loyal Nazi members who were talented musicians were guaranteed a job. Loyal Nazi members who were not talented musicians were not guaranteed a job. Any non-Jewish person who demonstrated a "genius" for music and was a member of the Reichsmusikkammer (Reich Music Chamber) was permitted employment. This exception in policy permitted musicians like conductor Wilhelm Furtwangler and composer Richard Strauss to continue working. According to Hitler and Goebbels (Hitler's second in command), the three master composers that represented good German music were Ludwig van Beethoven, Richard Wagner, and Anton Bruckner. All three composers lived prior to the 20th century. Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) believed that "strength is the morality of the man who stands out from the rest." Hitler identified himself with Beethoven as possessing that heroic German spirit. Beethoven was so loved by the German people that his legacy of music was unrivaled by any other composer.
